Chapter 017 Inquiry
What did Dou Ziruo want to do by bringing Rong Que to her room? Xiang Zheng had eight hundred possible scenarios in his mind without even having to think about it!
Rong Que wants to marry Dou Ziruo, and if he objects, the marriage will surely fail.
But if Rong Que and Dou Ziruo were discovered being intimate in public, then no matter how much he objected, the marriage would be a done deal!
Dou Ziruo used some tricks, but behind these tricks, there might not be Rong Que's secret instigation.
Don’t know your place!
"The young lady said that she must make everyone misunderstand that it was Princess Rongyang who drugged her and His Highness. Tell me, do you think Princess Rongyang would be fooled?"
"She is so stupid that she has been defeated by our young lady every time. If she had not relied on the favor of His Majesty, she would have been killed by our young lady long ago. Don't worry, there will be no problem."
The two maids spoke in low voices, and Xiang Zheng left with light steps.
Princess Rongyang?
With a sinister smile on his face, he called his confidants and gave them instructions.
Seeing Xiang Zheng leaving, the two maids stopped talking and left in another direction.
In the dark where no one noticed, Minglu turned around and left silently.
Everyone was exhausted after a day of hard work, especially the emperor, who was too old to withstand the stress. The excitement in the tent only lasted for half an hour before it dispersed.
Su Heng sent Su Qingqing back to her residence. "I won't go in. Once you go back, you are not allowed to come out again. I will come to find you tomorrow morning!"
Su Qingqing smiled and said to the housekeeper: "Your worry is really not suitable for your age. Are you annoying?"
"Do you think I am willing? Just bear with it. Wait until the envoys from Great Yan leave. You can look at me however you want, and I won't care!"
After saying this, Su Heng walked away.
Jixiang stretched his neck to see Su Qingqing's reaction, and said with a smile: "Our Fourth Prince has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I don't know how much he cares about the princess."
Su Qingqing poked her forehead and said, "He is my brother, do you need to explain to him here?"
Jixiang stuck out his tongue, smiled and pushed the door open.
"Is there anyone else in your family?" After taking off her riding clothes and changing into casual clothes, Su Qingqing glanced under the bed, pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked Jixiang.
Jixiang made the bed and said, "Your Highness, why don't you remember things recently? I am the only one in my family. You rescued me from the street. Have you forgotten?"
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "I want to see if you have forgotten my life-saving grace."
Jixiang burst out laughing, turned around and bowed to Su Qingqing, "Princess, you are so kind, I will serve you like a slave for the rest of my life!"
Su Qingqing asked, "If I go to marry, will you go with me?"
Jixiang was surprised and asked, "Why do you ask that, Your Highness? Isn't it already settled? The Crown Prince of Great Yan is going to welcome our Princess Qingyang and Miss Dou."
Speaking of this, Jixiang couldn't help but sigh, "This Miss Dou is really... I thought she would be sent to a farm in the countryside by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to live a life of seclusion and meditation for the rest of her life, but I never thought she would be so lucky. I think the Crown Prince likes her a little more."
Su Qingqing curled her lips slightly.
I have to say, Rong Que’s acting is really realistic!
"Don't worry about that. Just tell me, if I go to marry, will you go with me? I want to hear the truth. I won't blame you if you don't go. I will arrange a good place for you before I leave."
Jixiang listened to her serious words and couldn't help but said solemnly: "I will not go anywhere else. I am your Highness's person in life and your ghost in death! Wherever your Highness goes, I will follow you."
Su Qingqing had an idea in her mind and said no more.
Jixiang made the bed and asked Su Qingqing in confusion, "Your Highness, I noticed just now that Princess Qingyang went out once and never came back to the tent. Do you think she is doing anything bad?"
Su Qingqing glanced under the bed, a sneer flashed in her eyes, and she said lazily: "Why bother with her so much! You've been tired all day, go to sleep quickly."
Su Qingqing yawned and climbed onto the bed.
The voices outside the tent gradually became less and less, until they disappeared, and from time to time the orderly footsteps of patrolling guards could be heard coming in.
Hearing that Jixiang's breathing had evened out, Su Qingqing held her breath and concentrated. Then she heard the rustling sound of footsteps...
Immediately afterwards, someone poked a small hole in her tent where it touched the ground with a dagger.
A thin bamboo tube was slowly handed in, and a thick smoke came out from the tube.
The thick smoke lasted for about a cup of tea, and then the slender bamboo tube was pulled out. In the blink of an eye, the door of the tent was opened with a rustling sound.
Su Qingqing closed her eyes with coldness.
At this time, a eunuch flashed into the tent of the Duke of Zhenguo and said, "Sir, they have attacked you. His men have taken Princess Rongyang to the tent of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Yan Kingdom."
The Emperor was determined to have Princess Qingyang marry the Duke of Zhenguo. Concubine Rou had other plans originally, but who could have imagined that early this morning, Rong Que sent horse clothing to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, specifically intending to give it to Dou Ziruo.
Rong Que has taken a fancy to Dou Ziruo!
This is really an eye-opener for God!
Before this, Dou Ziruo played Princess Rongyang in the palm of her hand, and everyone in the capital knew about it.
He only released a little information, saying that Dou Ziruo was ruthless and scheming, which was enough to make Xiang Zheng be on guard.
How could Xiang Zheng let Rong Que marry a capable princess?
During the dinner tonight, he specially arranged for two maids to say such words while Xiang Zheng was out to relieve himself.
really……
A triumphant smile appeared on his sinister face, and the Duke of Zhenguo looked at Dou Ziruo, "Do you know what to do next?"
Dou Ziruo knelt down and bowed, "Don't worry, father. I will definitely do well."
The Duke of Zhenguo raised his hand and waved, "Go, don't let me down."
Dou Ziruo lowered her head, stood up and left the tent.
In the quiet night, a sharp cry suddenly broke out.
"Princess Rongyang, how could you do this! You...you...you have no shame!"
The scream subsided, and was followed by a shrill, uncontrolled question that pierced the night sky.
Su Heng had just put down his book and was rubbing his brows, preparing to take a break. When he heard the voice, he was startled and his face suddenly turned ugly.
"What did you say outside just now?"
He turned and asked the palace servant who was serving him.
The palace maid shuddered and said, "It sounds like Miss Dou's voice, saying...Princess Rongyang."
Before the palace maid could finish her words, she saw a black shadow flash before her eyes, and in the blink of an eye Su Heng had already left the tent.
Quite a few people had already passed by Rong Que's tent.
Furious, Su Heng clenched his fists and ran over in one breath.
In Rong Que's tent, Su Qingqing's clothes were scattered all over the floor, which made Su Heng's eyelids twitch.
"I kill you!"
Su Heng raised his fist and rushed towards Rong Que.
"stop!"
He was scolded by the emperor who arrived later.
Su Heng stared at Rong Que with his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
The emperor had a gloomy face and his belt was not tied properly, which showed that he had hurried over after hearing the news.
Xiang Zhengwan stepped in, took a look at the situation in the room, and said in shock: "Why is Princess Rongyang on your highness's bed!"
Dou Ziruo collapsed to the ground with a pale face.
The Duke of Zhenguo, who arrived at almost the same time as Xiang Zheng, looked at her and asked, "Why are you here?"
